Hello Craig I'm struggling to upload pictures from my iPhone :( All I get is this message :"You have already uploaded a file of the same name. Please select another file, or rename the file and try again" but you can't rename pictures on iPhone. It seems like the function is there to add them from phone but doesn't work. Have you never thought about putting it on tapatalk? I've been on many forums (GT4oc, Civinfo, typeR) and it works really well and is very simple to add files with no need to have a photo bucket account etc. Just a thought but if not is my only option photo bucket? Thanks in advance.Mick

Craig my lovely, just thought Havan't attempted to post yet but worried as my device is an apple I pad 2, so wandering iff my problems will be identical to georgie, I've now got photo bucket but should I just try to follow your guide? Seems a lot off steps? What do you suggest please?

I have an account with PBase and normally if I want to embed a photo from there into any other Forums I use, I simply paste the URL with '.jpg' added at the end, into the thread I am contributing to. But this doesn't seem to work on this Forum. Any thoughts ?? Has it GOT to be Photobucket and there is no other way of doing it ?

Regards,

Richard

If it looks too good to be true, then it usually is.2013 QQ 360 Facelift 1.6 petrol in metallic black, Phillips DRLs, EGR bonnet protector and fog lamp bezels.

Thanks. That process is more or less the same as PBase. The image code (URL) is copied from the PBase site and pasted directly into the thread. But it doesn't seem to work. Maybe it would if I experimented a bit more !! Or maybe not. I've tried it once though (as I have had a PBase account for many years now) and it didn't accept it. I'll try again. Here's a photo link from PBase:

They don't show on post preview anyway.

Guess I'll just have to open a Photobucket account !!

Normally - to embed a photo from PBase in any other thread on any other Forum, I simply have to add '.jpg' to the the image URL. And it comes up. Quite a few of my photos appear in many other Forums and there are no problems - on PBase all my images are set to public view and nothing is locked or passworded - only my own access to the site. The area you have ringed only refers to copyright of the image ie it cannot be copied or used elsewhere without my permission.

Don't worry - it was just a thought as PBase is a pretty well used and popular imaging database. I just wondered if I could post links and images from it on this site, like I do everywhere else. Rather than open another imaging account on another site. The 404 Error comes from this Web site and not PBase itself.

I have the option of choosing 'small' 'medium' and 'original' on PBase to display the images on screen. However even at 'original' size they are only 1MB in size. I'll try 'medium' display and see what happens. I note on PBase my 'direct linking' is enabled and that I should use .jpg at the end of the URL for it to work and locate the image correctly on the PBase image database:

http://www.pbase.com/image/151842366/medium.jpg

But again no preview of image so I'll post this again and also try the 'small' option:

http://www.pbase.com/image/151842366/small.jpg

But I don't think this works either to be honest.

** Edit - nope - it doesn't. So it isn't a file size issue.

Richard
